Pretty solid, if a little slow moving - that’s the issue with having parallel plot lines. I preferred the Truman storyline and got a little bored with Greta - it was a little overdone, I think. But this was enjoyable enough and had some nice moments.

This was a cute book for the most part, I didn’t love all the characters or supporting characters but I really loved Truman and Ash’s storyline. Greta’s storyline wasn’t my favorite and I wished we got more insight into the sister dynamic and why they are the way they are. Cute house swap book

Not really much of a plot. Having the two different stories happening simultaneously would have been cool if both stories had been interesting. I found Greta’s story to be a bit boring. Truman’s story had a little more intrigue with the search for the author in his story. Overall I think the book was too long to not really have a plot.
